How to Chart a Path out of QAnon and Other Cult-like Communities

 

QAnon, the online conspiracy group that traffics in baseless theories about a Satan-worshipping deep state, counts among its defenders Republican congressional candidates, far right media personalities and former and current Trump administration officials. It’s also stolen the minds of countless ordinary Americans who have come to believe in its apocalyptic, convoluted narratives. We’ll talk about what attracts people to QAnon and similar cult-like communities, and what friends and family members can do to help loved ones emerge from the rabbit hole.

Portland’s Wall of Moms Protesters Change Leadership: White Founder Replaced by Black Activists

 

The woman who organized a group to support protesters in Portland, Oregon, has stepped down after divisions among the Wall of Mom group surfaced along racial lines.

 

Bev Barnum, who is white and founded the group on social media in mid-July, has been replaced by black activists and the name of the group has been changed to Moms United for Black Lives Matter.

 

Antoinette Rootsdawtah, an activist who lives in California, is heading up the group, according to Oregon Live, the website associated with the Oregonian newspaper. Demetria Hester, a black activist who lives in Oregon, will also have a leadership role in the reorganized group, and Uganda Richardson and Alexandra Loves are also named in the Oregon Live report.

 

“Portland Wall of Moms, a group formed in recent weeks and quickly recognized as a staple of nightly downtown protests, was accused publicly Wednesday of ‘anti-Blackness’ by leaders of an existing, Black-led community group,” Oregon Live reported.

 

Last month, the Wall of Moms gained national attention after they positioned themselves between police and protesters. Barnum said she was surprised at the reaction to the moms clad in yellow T-shirts.

 

“I‘ll admit two and a half weeks ago I was a novice, and I was making mistakes grappling with the speed that it was growing,” Barnum said in an Oregon Live post. “I’d have to say the attention that Wall of Moms was getting, nationally, contributed to local conflicts with a small group of people in Portland.”
